Hi

Thank you very much. But your hack should not listed products without using plug-ins, please.

Sorry, that is not going to happen - how do you want to access a product's edit, check version, etc. if it is not displayed?...

[Terminatoronly]

thanks for the fast update :)

Add Underthat
if(!$plugins[$product['productid']])

Please read the post above. This change makes the hack flawed. Please do not post baloney code is the thread without reading all of the posts. Thanks.

This looks pretty cool.

I dont have a chance to install and play with this right at this moment, but is it similar to Advanced Product Management 3.0.4, or does it just concentrate on the plugin side of things?

Please see the first post - "Features" and "Screenshots".

Cant you make this without file edits? Ill just continue to use the original since it requires no file edits. Seems kinda odd to have a plugin manager not a full plugin.

If it were possible, it would have been done. However, the code required to eliminate the bugs found in the original cannot be hooked anywhere because of the placement.

Can't sort (by product, hook, etc) with this?

It's sorted by product. then by hook. And no, you can't sort by hook only using this. Why, is that a problem?

[thincom2000]

When testing for conflicts between multiple products and plugins, it's ideal to sort by hook.

Ok, I'll implement that. :)

Hi

I would like to see an option "collapse all" and "expand all". Can you realize that, please?

*love this hack*

Very nice, easier management.

Sure. Will do.

great mod!

installed!

The AdminCP is a neglected area. Being able to surf this area effectively in the forum is critical to running the forum smoothly.

Thanks again!

This is exactly what I was hoping to find. I'm not big on hacks that do more than I need, so this nice simple one is perfect!

One little comment, it works great, but I am getting an error email everytime I save a plugin:
Invalid SQL:

UPDATE session
SET inforum = 0, inthread = 0, incalendar = 0, badlocation = 0
WHERE sessionhash = '';

MySQL Error :

Referrer : http://my.site.org/forums/admincp/plugin.php?do=edit&pluginid=82Anyone else get these? Like I said, everything works just fine, I just get this error showing up in my mailbox.

[RedGTiVR6]

Anyone know if this will work with 3.7?

[Stoebi]

No, you get lot of white pages, if you update a plugin or set/unset hooks. :(

If i uncomment this peace of code in the file class_core.php

/*if (!headers_sent())
{
if (SAPI_NAME == 'cgi' OR SAPI_NAME == 'cgi-fcgi')
{
header('Status: 503 Service Unavailable');
}
else
{
header('HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable');
}
}*/

the hack works fine again. This code is new and is not really a solution to uncomment this. Hope another one can help us.

I got this working as well on 3.7.4. However, my Plugin Save and Reload Mod no longer works. It DOES however proper appear to save changes. Given howmany plugins I have installed it is worth trying to use it.
I will also explore this interested plugin optimization idea: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173894

[leitel]

I just discovered that the hack to core caused problems elsewhere. I restored core and it still works. Hmm

[akanevsky]

This hack has been updated to work with vBulletin 3.7.x and above. ;)
